Naija Weddings
It is unusual for any Naija person not to have ever witnessed or even attended a Naija gbedu! It's the gbedu that passes gbedu!
Sure you must have attended a Naija wedding if you're a Nigerian. Well for our foreign readers, a Naija wedding is not just any wedding. There is so much groove (fun), gbedu (dancing) lots and lots of food (depending on the wedding you attended though).
The clothing and dress are superb. Attires like

I remember going to a wedding and Omo food didn't get to where I was oh! After all the waiting!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing though. But the main facet is the food. Sometimes everybody gets served and sometimes it's halfway.
ReplyDeleteIt's terrific. The clothing aspect sometimes is an issue between both the bride's and groom's families
